HOMBRE
We could treat the movie as a tragicomic Balkan-themed Eastern, a story about friendship, love and tolerance and about the impossibility to have them all at once, especially in the Balkans. Lack of harmony results from almost as many reasons as the good intentions that pave the way to it. Egocentrism and chaotic mind or hot temper as well as not thinking twice before acting leads to a tragic mistake and, typically of these lands, it is the most innocent of them all that suffers.
